May I ask...to those who are so deeply opposed to sharing your personal data with corporations and their partners:

Let's assume, worst case scenario -- you enable every single data sharing option on your Android phone as well as let's say, Windows desktop. And you use chrome browser, logged in, etc. All the time.

Now, the question is: explain to me, what you expect to be the negative outcome and how it affects your daily life.

I am genuinely curious. Or is this just a fear of the unknown and projecting into the future all of the bad things that may happen (or also may not)?



It's rather like stopping paying for your health (or other) insurance. If I don't have it, it probably has no effect on my daily life. All the things I need it for are things that may happen in the future.

Information once leaked is very hard to recover and may have a deleterious effect on your career. Just ask Hulk Hogan.
